Detector Characterization of GEO600 4th Edoardo Amaldi ConferenceOn Gravitational Waves UWA - Perth, Australia Karsten Kötter - 2001-07-10 Karsten Kötter
Detector Characterization (1) • First Phase:Improve Detector Performance • identify noise sources • track down transients • Detector is a large and complex device • data from many sensors have to be monitored (and recorded) at the same time • detector data • environmental data Karsten Kötter
Detector Characterization (2) • Second Phase:create vetoes for h-channel • external influences make data from h-channel invalid • periods of invalid data have to be marked • understand noise propagation in detector • determine thresholds in environmental disturbances that affect h-channel Karsten Kötter
Available channels Karsten Kötter
environmental channels (1) • already available sensors • magnetic field • seismic motion • foundation • suspension system • power line • indoor/outdoor temperature • acoustics (air/tanks) • wind speed/direction Karsten Kötter
environmental channels (2) • planned • air pressure • vacuum pressure • electric field Karsten Kötter
detector channels • Mode Cleaner • PDH error point • visibility (reflected light) • auto-alignment • rotation • tilt • mirror positions Karsten Kötter
seismic noise spectrum Karsten Kötter
transient – seismic motion Karsten Kötter
transient - ModeCleaner control Karsten Kötter
coherence: seismic motion Karsten Kötter
transient - magnetic field Karsten Kötter
Detector signals during lightning Karsten Kötter
coherence: mag. field gradient Karsten Kötter
temperature fluctuations Karsten Kötter
Summary • Detector characterization • detector improvement • h-channel vetoing • DAQ system • signals • detector • environment • measurements • seismic noise • magnetic field • temperature correlation Karsten Kötter
